If you have completed all the necessary steps, you will receive an email and/or text prior to your arrival notifying you of your room number and reminding you of the option of going directly to your room.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a Cast Member who will give you the option to go experience a traditional check-in, or go directly to their room once it is ready.

This new optional service will be rolled out in phases over the course of the next several weeks.

I have always loved the personal check in service. It is what makes me feel like my vacation has started. Also, I have always been a big fan of hotel/resort lobbies and checking each one of them out so this specifically would NOT be something I would welcome. How do you feel about this?
